Summary

You don't have to be a professional teacher, a genius, or a structured person to homeschool well. Many people believe they can't homeschool because they are lacking some magical quality or skill successful homeschoolers have. The truth is that homeschooling can be done, and done well, by most ordinary people.

Terrie Lynn Bittner's book will take you by the hand and show you how. She breaks the job down into doable chunks and carefully explains each part, giving you the confidence you need to get it done. Her explanations are clear and thorough.

But this book does more than give information--it also reassures parents who may be disorganized, shy, insecure, less educated, or otherwise not the "ideal" homeschooling parent, and shows them how to succeed.
